Theme design can be approached from two angles. The first is
simplicity; sometimes it suits the client and/or the site to go as
bare-bones as possible. In that case, it's quick and easy to take a
very basic, pre-made theme and modify it. The second is "Unique and
Beautiful". Occasionally, the site's theme needs to be created from
scratch so that everything displayed caters to the specific kind of
content the site offers. This book is going to take you through the
Unique and Beautiful route with the idea that once you know how to
create a theme from scratch, you'll be more apt at understanding
what to look for in other WordPress themes. This book can be used
by WordPress users or visual designers (with no server-side
scripting or programming experience) who are used to working with
the common industry-standard tools like PhotoShop and Dreamweaver
or other popular graphic, HTML, and text editors. Regardless of
your web development skill-set or level, you'll find clear,
step-by-step instructions, but familiarity with a broad range of
web development skills and WordPress know-how will allow you to
gain maximum benefit from this book.
This hands-on tutorial, filled with exercises and examples,
introduces the reader to a variety of concepts within Pentaho
Reporting. With screenshots that show you how reports look at
design time as well as how they should look when rendered as PDF,
Excel, or HTML, this book also contains complete example source
code that you can copy and paste into your environment to get up
and running quickly. This book is primarily written for Java
developers who want to assemble custom reporting solutions with
Pentaho Reporting. Their main interest is in the technical details
of creating reports and they want to see how to solve common report
problems with a minimum of fuss; they do not need an overview of BI
or the importance of reporting. Secondary audiences of this book
are IT professionals who need to install a reporting solution in
their environment, and want to learn advanced concepts within
Pentaho Reporting such as sub-reports, cross-tabs, data source
configuration, and metadata-based reporting.

and best practices for Drupal Web sites."
This book is designed for readers who learn by doing and employs
many examples and screenshots to let the reader dig in and start
coding. This book isn't designed to be a reference; instead it has
a practical, example-driven approach that teaches you by following
along with the examples in the chapters. When you have completed
this book, you will fully understand how the template system works,
how to extend it when you have specialized needs, and how to
optimize the performance and usability of your content. This book
is for web developers and template authors who want to fully
understand and utilize the Django template system. The reader
should have completed the introductory tutorials on the Django
project's website and some experience with the framework will be
very helpful. Basic knowledge of Python and HTML is assumed.
With loads of screenshots and illustrations and easy step-by-step

and direct instructions this book will equip you with all the tools
you need to set up, optimize, extend, and maintain a Moodle system.

the content more in line with your day-to-day operations. This book
is written for technicians, systems administrators, as well as
academic staff "basically anyone who has to administer a Moodle

Moodle knowledge is helpful, but not essential.
This book is a guide to building a rich web application using
Grails. The approach taken for building the application is
incremental and iterative; each chapter will produce a working
addition to the application, or iterate over existing features, as
well as introduce and carefully explain the new part of the Grails
framework used. The book does not go into exhaustive descriptions
of every detail of Grails. While there is a lot of code in the
book, there are very few large code listings. As you will find, it
is not necessary to write reams of code to get results using Groovy
and Grails. This book is aimed at Java web developers looking for
ways to build web applications quickly, and wanting to find out how
it's done quickly. If you are frustrated with integrating the many
different frameworks that are available for web development and
want to get on with building slick web applications for your users,
then this book is for you. Grails is built on the Groovy language,
but experience in Groovy is not required, as you will learn enough
about Groovy to understand how to use Grails.
This book will give you a long list of powerful recipes. Choose the
ones that suit your needs and use them through step-by-step
instructions. Most of the recipes are code-free, but a number of
the recipes contain code snippets. This book is primarily written
for Drupal site builders, administrators, and themers who want to
develop custom content displays using Views. It can be used by
anyone who has a Drupal 5 web site, including original site
developers as well as people who have inherited a Drupal 5 site.
Some knowledge of HTML and CSS is required; PHP basics will be
handy for some of the recipes.
This book takes you step by step through customizing your MediaWiki
skin. It is full of practical examples of MediaWiki skinning
techniques, and clear explanations of how MediaWiki skinning works.
The early chapters go through each element of a MediaWiki design,
showing the CSS and PHP tags necessary to customize MediaWiki's
appearance. Later chapters look at ways to further enhance your
design using extra graphics, JavaScript, AJAX, dynamic CSS, and
more. This book is aimed at web designers or wiki administrators
who want to customize the look of MediaWiki with custom skins. The
reader will already have a MediaWiki installation that they are
targeting with their skin. It might be their own installation, or
they might be a designer developing a custom look for a client. The
book does not cover setting up or using MediaWiki, except features
specifically related to skinning. The book assumes that you are
familiar with CSS and HTML, but no prior knowledge of PHP is
required.
Since these technologies covered are different from each other,
they are covered in separate chapters that are not interdependent;
therefore you can learn to use whichever tool you want, without
exploring the previous chapters. This approach sustains the
learning per example paradigm and helps you to use the book as a
quick guide for your favorite technologies. This book is
recommended for Java developers who use at least one of the covered
technologies (JSF, Struts, Hibernate, Seam, and so on). It is for
all Java developers who are looking for a powerful, unitary tool,
especially designed to increase the speed of development and
quality of Java web applications. No matter how much (or how
little) experience they have, developers of all levels will benefit
as their use of JBoss Tools is directly proportional to the
complexity of their application. Since JBoss Tools covers all
levels of experience, you can use it at your own level for your own
applications, without involving unnecessary features. All you need
is to be familiar with the Eclipse environment and Java core, and
to have some expertise in the technology for which you want to use
the JBoss Tools. Basic expertise for each technology is provided in
the book, but for more complete and detailed aspects you should
read dedicated specifications, tutorials, and articles.
